      Keep it up if you enjoy it! Never let other people stop you with negativity. Try to use criticism as a constructive outlet to learn about how to make things more appealing. But if its just for you do your thing and do it big.

      I'm about to be 12 in like 2 weeks, and i'm doing a writing project. I'm actually starting my first graphic novel now!! There is no way in the history of time that it will ever be published, but right now I'm a one-man-army. I wish us both good luck lol.

    Next time you make a video about the books you've been reading you should include a graphic novel recommendation. I am now dead curious about the authors you like and the novels you've read and enjoyed. Nice of you to share your work.

    I know it's an older one but thanks so much for making this video. I currently have a graphic novel project in progress (about to start the scripting phase) and it was really nice to see that I'm not the only one who does present-tense chapter descriptions before getting into the real writing. I always get weird looks for having what I consider just a very detailed outline, and I've never heard of it being called a "treatment" before. I always just called it my outline or "pre-writing". Anyway, thanks for sharing your methods and advice! I hope to have my own graphic novel ready to go in the near future.

    Hi Ed, so I did script writing in university, but they never taught me about index cards. What exactly are they for and how do you use them? I'm creating my first graphic novel and I'm glad to see that you approach graphic novels like a film script. I had no idea where to start, but now I know I can approach it like I would a screenplay.

    • @edpavez
      @edpavez  6 лет назад +2

      That’s really strange. Index cards are an industry standard. You write a short description of your scene and that way you can reorganize your scenes and see them in perspective. Do a google search. There are tons of examples. :)

    2 : 44 am tenía tantas ganas de ver cómo es una organización para una novela, cuento, lo que sea. Si bien, una tesis tiene toda una estructura y aún así te puedes perder en el tiempo-espacio de algo ya establecido, dicho y repetido por otros tantos; sin embargo, en mi opinión una novela o cuento es mucho más complicado, anticipado sólo mentalmente. Siento que me explota el cerebro y siempre renuncio a obligarme a pensar. Aprecio las imágenes de este video, tus aportaciones y el tiempo para enseñarnos tu trabajo, lo atesoro y valoro mucho.

    I write hand written letters to a relative. When I rewrite it several times I get the whole story out. I have tried to write about my life because writing fiction is impossible to me, and worked hard at it for long hours. Then I stopped completely. I'm always amazed that there is a story within me when I write letters. Another thing, writing by hand involves my body and it is very cathartic.

    I've been writing a book. I finished an initial draft which ended up about 80k words. The problem is, when I was writing the book I had no idea where it would go, or even what the themes were. As time went on I started to discover what the book was about through writing it, (a normal problem for me) but as I finished this first rough draft I already had ideas about how to go back and change things, add new scenes, or totally change the context to better suit this refined vision. The last few months I've been taking a break due to entering university, but I still get ideas of what I need to change in the book to emphasis the right ideas. Do you think it's worth it to go back and make a treatment for the next draft, even though I've already written so much of the story?

    • @edpavez
      @edpavez  6 лет назад +6

      It's hard to tell, since I have not read it, but books written "on the fly" tend to heavily lack an interesting structure and rely on stuff you think as you go, therefore, the reader can think them too. Maybe leave it like it is and start a new one. Write a short treatment to get a grasp of your main characters, structure and goal. If you like it, develop it. :)
